Universal Spirituality
...
We See
Creator/God
from the Perspective of Universal Spirituality
Approximately seventy-five million people in the U.S.
believe in some form of Universal
Spirituality.˛
Universal
Spirituality is a way of looking at life, a way of
looking at who and what humans most probably are, a way
of looking at the source of creation as an
impersonal consciousness that transcends human
understanding, rather than as a superhuman being who
lives in the sky.
If one chooses to believe anything about God,
one must take what is called the leap
of faith.˛
When
contemplating this unknown
mystery, there are
no provable facts, only theories, beliefs, best guesses, speculation, and, of
course, there are an abundance of religious fairytales.
Universal Spirituality is one
approach to Creator/God, but not the only
possibility. We call ourselves The
Reasonables of Religion because we
apply Head and Heart to our approach to religion and
spirituality. Our perspective on
Creator/God takes into consideration the latest Earthly
evidence. Our approach applies
common sense, and also considers the history and source of
beliefs. We remain
open to change as new evidence becomes
available. We make no claims to having all
the answers and we realize that, in spite of their claims, nobody
else has them either. Here are the highlights of this
theory.
There are no intermediaries
between one's self and God. Humans are
inside of and part of Creator/God. Everything is
one. Everything is a part of
and intimately related to
everything else. Everything is energy.
There was no beginning. There will be no end.
Time is an illusion.
Eternity is now.
"Physical
matter is only a very small part of reality.
Humans are eternal,
non-physical, divine beings who always were and always will be.
Humans are
intimately connected to nature. Death of
the physical body is simply birth into a different form of
consciousness
God
is not
a super-human being living above the clouds around planet Earth. God is
consciousness -- a consciousness so vast and
so complex that it transcends human knowledge and
human understanding.
Humans are also consciousness. God consciousness
and human consciousness are intimately inter-related.
An 'Intelligent Creator' created everything we know about and
everything we still don't know about. Humans are part of and
co-creators with the timeless, eternal God. Within the context of
life on Earth, we are the creators of our personal
experiences."
